Synopsis

This insightful and exquisite book explains how our primal relationship with trees; a central theme in religion, myth, and culture, continues to evolve in an age of environmental fragility. Author A. T. Mann explores the properties of trees and our complicated relationship with them. Stunning arboreal art and photographs celebrate the mystery of trees, enhanced by quotes from poetry, literature and spiritual texts. Investigating the tree in varying guises, from Jungian symbolism to Indian fertility worship, Mann shows us new ways to appreciate them in our conscious and unconscious lives. "The Sacred Language of Trees" will make us aware of the importance of trees to the future of humanity and Earth itself.
